Zen for Bees

This is just an experiment which started with a photo of a Buddha statue at a local nursery. Several textures and a mask were next combined using Blending Modes. One of the texture was the title page of an old German book about nature.

Blessings

I photographed this colorful wooden figure, which I assume is a Buddha, at the Brass Armadillo antique store near our home in Phoenix. After removing it from its plain background, I added a dark brown texture and a texture mask, both from Shadowhouse Creations.

Three Little Buddhas

I spotted these three little Buddhas among the garden statuary at Whitfil Nursery. This was the first time I'd seen this particular take on the old "speak no evil, hear no evil and see no evil" admonition. I used a grunge texture to darken up the surroundings.

Spa Basket

I photographed this spa basket because which attracted me with its various soft, hard and cool stone textures in soothing earth tones. A texture layer increased the effect.
